For what its worth, I always feel as if we could provide a binary and then let the binary run on things like aws/gcloud/ preferably cloudflare workers as cf workers feels genuinely good if you focus on typescript/imo sveltekit as well
Please, can anybody enlighten me I suppose? I build a lot of side projects, some of which are genuinely cool and I can genuinely see it being a "saas" but like you, I hate saas from a consumer perspective and I love saas as a guy wanting to earn money so my ethics are definitely questionable at the moment.
Also, let's say I want somebody to buy my software. How does that make sense? What if they just redistribute that software without my permission. Doesn't that just eat into the profits when Saas couldn't.
And also I personally am a foss advocate and as you said its economically bad.
I am kind of thinking of creating software which is just source available and that you need a permission / license which you can get by github sponsoring me but I saw this one project doing it and the people in hackernews were pitch forking the poor guy. Its so crazy and bizarre that once you actually try to provide "some" value. You are automatically the bad guy for not using MIT.
I am also thinking of such a license where its SSPL if you don't have a license or BSD/MIT if you have a license (sort of like redis-ish)
But I am not sure if people would buy them. Maybe I can support both I suppose? I am not sure lol, which is why I wanted to get enlightened
PS: I built a way to create your own cryptocurrencies for genuinely free (no jokes)(not sure how to monetize and if, If anybody can help, that would be great!) and a way to get blogs from youtube posts and a way to youtube community post and videos as an alternative to google photos for unlimited storage (though the privacy aspect for community post is a little bad but I guess I can fix that as well)
